Take some quiet time each day.
During this time, you might read, draw, snuggle a stuffed animal, watch a favorite show, or just lie down and let your imagination take over. Listen to... some quiet music, a chapter of Charlotte's Web, or a podcast (Wow in the World! for science; Stories Podcast or Circle Round for stories).
